Celebrating Women’s Day: A Message of Gratitude and Love
Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate International Women’s Day. Life has had its ups and downs lately, especially since I left #Ukraine 🇺🇦 for #Hungary. I’ve been feeling a bit low, but the incredible support I’ve received from all of you has truly lifted my spirits.
My days have mostly revolved around the basics—eating and sleeping—without much fun. I’ve experienced a whirlwind of emotions, but I’m profoundly grateful to be alive and to celebrate yet another Women’s Day. A heartfelt shoutout to all the strong, compassionate women out there, especially the brave women of Ukraine during these challenging times.
Happy International Women’s Day! 💖

A Special Message
I recently received a message for Women’s Day that resonated deeply with me, and I want to share it with you:
“It’s Women’s Day again! As cliché as it may sound, this holiday is one of the highlights of the year—a day dedicated to celebrating the incredible women in my life. Without you, my life feels a little bland, baby girl.
I appreciate your strength, tenacity, vulnerability, beauty, and the warmth of your heart. Without you by my side, I can’t truly call myself a man. I love you, baby girl, and I cherish the way you love me.
Happy Women’s Day, my sunshine!

Is it possible that cataract surgery can protect you from dementia?
Cataract surgery has become extremely safe and commonplace in the United States over the last few decades. An estimated two million Americans, largely seniors, undergo this treatment each year. By 2050, the population may have doubled, or perhaps tripled.
Even though many of us think that cataract surgery only helps us see better, new research shows that it may also help us think better and avoid dementia.
So, may preventing or correcting vision loss help to lessen dementia risk? Previous research has yielded conflicting results. According to a 2015 study, cataract surgery is connected to a lower risk of dementia in the future. The results of a 2018 study found no benefit in terms of dementia risk, but there was a lower rate of mild cognitive impairment. The disparities in findings could be explained by differences in study populations and techniques, particularly in the diagnosis of dementia.
Whether glaucoma patients had surgery or not, the risk of dementia was the same. (It's worth noting that glaucoma surgery doesn't help you see again.)
Because of differences in health or access to health care, the study's findings were not likely to be caused by those things. Also, other dementia risk factors were not likely to have been the cause. The findings remained the same once these variables were taken into account.
The researchers point out that while the findings are compelling, they must be confirmed by others. Future research should involve a more varied population: the majority of study participants were white, and they all had easy access to complete health care, including cataract surgery.

According to research, there is a link between eyesight loss and dementia.
Recent studies have discovered a relationship between dementia and age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, or diabetes-related eye illness. In one study, elderly people whose vision deteriorated during an eight-year period had a higher chance of dementia.So, may preventing or correcting vision loss help to lessen dementia risk?

The disparities in findings could be explained by differences in study populations and techniques, particularly in the diagnosis of dementia.
There's new evidence that cataract surgery can help people avoid dementia.
A recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that removing cataracts may lower your risk of dementia. It looks into how cataract surgery affects the risk of dementia over time in over 3,000 older people with cataracts or glaucoma. At the start of the trial, no one had dementia.According to the research,
People who had cataract surgery had a 29% lower risk of developing dementia than those who did not.Whether glaucoma patients had surgery or not, the risk of dementia was the same. (It's worth noting that glaucoma surgery doesn't help you see again.)

There is currently no safe place in Ukraine, and the situation is changing by the hour. All children across the region are now in grave danger of physical harm and severe emotional distress.
So please, let’s do what we do best: let’s gather together our network of friends, family and colleagues and fundraise for the innocent children of Ukraine.

Violence and explosions have been reported in the capital of Kyiv and other major cities – forcing children and families into basements and bomb shelters. At least 100,000 have already been forced to flee their homes. As temperatures drop below freezing, displaced children could face long days and nights exposed to brutal conditions.
It would be an understatement to say that the last two years have been difficult for children and teenagers. Major worldwide events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have had an impact on our daily lives and put us to the test in unprecedented ways. Racial and political issues are also constants in the lives of young people of all ages.
Parents have a plethora of concerns and inquiries. What does all of this anxiety, instability, isolation, and change imply for my children? How can I assist them in coping? Will they be alright? The good news is that resilience, or the ability to persevere in the face of adversity and stress, can be learned and strengthened at any age. We can't keep our children from feeling unhappy, stressed, or having setbacks. We can, however, cultivate their ability to cope with and learn from adversity when it is possible.
How can families help their children develop resilience?
The relationship between parent and child, which is a significant contributor to healthy development in children and teenagers, is where resilience begins for every one of us. A safe, stable relationship with at least one caring and responsive adult is a powerful stress buffer, according to research on childhood trauma such as exposure to violence, divorce, mourning, and natural disasters. Recent research suggests that teenagers who feel linked to their parents or other caregivers, as well as their friends, and who have stable daily routines, are better able to cope with COVID-related stress (read more here, here, and here).
Parents may foster their children's resilience in five evidence-based approaches as we navigate the shifting demands of the pandemic (note: automated download) and the difficulties of our times.
